Hi, interesting to see your post.

Let me know what you think.

Best regards, Peter

I really like this Subaru WRX concept because it has that look of a rally car which really attracts me. I hope Subaru would make a production of this in the market.

Comment on Which Audi or Merc would I drive? by Johann

@DChetty: Merc is creating a lot of interesting cars, and the S5 is not bad.

@Chris M: Although I’m not a fan of A3 Cab, at least it has some character – it’s not just another bland Audi. But yeah the prices of those are crazy.

I must say since I published this post a lot of new BMW’s have come out, and it seems BMW is returning to it’s former German-ness, i.e. BMW is doing what Audi is doing – making all their cars look the same. So my argument about Audi’s looking the same are becoming a bit moot.

Comment on Ferrari 458 Italia – do want! by Johann

Yep, Ferrari is beginning to become just as mad as Lambo, which is the way Italian cars should be

To be honest, if I had to go for a car right now, I’d take the A3 Cab, in white. It’s probably the sexiest car on the road that’s in financial reach. Well, perhaps not reach, but stretch

Although I’m a serious lambo fan, this Ferrari is unbelievably gorgeous!

@e39 m5: Yep, this car has achieved classic status in my mind already.

No, I haven’t found a nice one yet. Now that I’m seriously looking for one I can’t find one with less than 100,000km on it. However, my ideal combo would be a 2003 Le Mans blue with black interior. However, ’03 M5′s are so scarce in South Africa, I doubt that I’ll find this exact spec. But I won’t stop my search.

Hey Johann! Nice site and theme!! Anyway I couldn’t agree with you more about the e39 series m5 vs. the e60. I’ve driven both and still like (and own) the e39. It’s an awesome car and the “simpleness” you articulate in your good post here not only helps keeps costs down (just wait until all the e60 m5′s start coming out of warranty!!!) and make it more connected to the road in my opinion.

Anyway – have you bought one yet?? Let me know – I’d love to know what colors, price, etc.

Cheers!
